Are you looking for a fun and short comic series about being lazy and how to be mindful? Well, Gudetama: Mindfulness for the Lazy is a unique and comedic take all on mindfulness.

I enjoyed this short read. It's comical, made me smile and can be quite beneficial in mindfulness education. The illustrations are also fabulous and colourful, which draws a lot of attention and makes the story more interesting.

Reminder: random acts of kindness (especially small ones) can really make someone's day!

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (more)

"Likes: Sleeping, Chilling, Eating"

(Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review through NetGalley.)

So, I'm not gonna lie: I'd never heard of the Sanrio character Gudetama before this title popped up on NetGalley. But how could I turn down love advice from a lazy, grumpy, chubby egg (alternately hard boiled and fried, it seems) with a butt that just won't quit?

While Gudetma is unexpectedly adorable, the rest of the artwork just isn't my bag. There's just something about human faces without noses that turns me off. But it is colorful and skillfully executed, so I'll give Clark that.

The advice is more of a mixed bag; some of the comics fall flat, while others are amusing or relatable or both. I especially liked the "phases of a break up" maze - someone should make that into a Candyland-esque board game. Preferably with more swearing and cards that let you binge real live junk food.
